Current C&R Collection - World War 2

[SKS-MOSIN]

Nice collection. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the Canadian Enfield? I don't see either SVT-40, whats up with that?

The Canadian Enfeld was $365 in good condition. I wish I cound get more semi-autos but SVT-40's are out of my price range. For the same reason several handguns are out - Lugers and 1911's are compare to the price of silver in $ per pound. Crazy!

Maybe you need to range a little farther North. The Bakersfield and Fresno shows always seem to have quite a few milsurps.

great collection , as stated above just watch carefully and you will find the authentic bayos - place holders are fine but dont invest too much in those ,

to the second photo poster - the 03A3 was made by remington and smith-corona , not springfeild , which did you get ? looks like a fine rifle

Nicely done! I am working on a similar collection.

Currently I have a Mosin-Nagant '91/30, M44 and M38.. a Lee Enfield No4 MK1, K98 Mauser and an M1 Garand.... Next is a type 99, maybe a 6.5 mm Carcano, maybe a French Mas..... You have great rifles...

I have three WW2 Garands, two M-1 Carbines (postal Meter & Inland), Winchester 1897 Trench Gun, two 03A3 Springfields and a Colt 1911A-1 Lend Lease that went to Britain and came back home in 1952 according to what's stamped on the left side of the dust cover. That's about the extent of my US collection thus far.

It seems tome the price of all bayonets, except the MN ones, have increase percentage wise more than the guns they go on. I was recent looking for a bayonet with scabbard for the Dutch Hembrug New Model #4 carbine. The best OI could do was $375 for a decent one. Even the french eppe bayonets for the Lebels and Berthiers are in the $150 price range.

That is a nice collection. Great way to show what they are. What program did you use to label them like that?
Its inspiring me to gather the ones I have bayos for a take a pic of only them. Probably about 15 or 20 of them.

A Finnish Bayonet for a M39 Mosin starts at $350. It gets crazy when you start to think about it. The only 'expensive' one I have is the 1942 UC on the M1903. I was lucky on that one and paid about 20% under market.
